Gesture politics is the Regime style: no substance, geared to the headlines, having absolutely no relevance to the lives of the voters their managerialist extremism has ruined.

There is nothing liberal and little democratic about the addiction economy, which aggressively promotes normlessness as a superior and liberating principle to the cultures and traditions it destroys.

These politicians make a desert and call it peace, with everywhere increasingly an international nowhereland. Look again and find some policy which was not a media spectacle crafted for inexpensive attention, and you will find only the usual policies for which no one voted: mass immigration, the reduction of life to the desire of obsolescent trash, a punitive security state for an insignificant virus, with the vast transfer of wealth from the ordinary person to the billionaires and corporations we see repeated in their disastrous proxy war.

Sanskrit - svastika from svasti, well-being, luck. Ancient and current symbol of divinity and spirituality. Primarily Indian - Hindu, Jain, Buddhist. Also widespread. 卐 or 卍. Nazis turned it through 45 degrees.

Are we to now to ban symbols of peace and harmony?

Adolf was a failed artist who couldn't make a living from his "Art".

In contrast Dan, who has made "B*** S***" an "art" form, is making a VERY tidy living from it.

[To the raptuous appreciation of the "I stand with Dan" crowd of art lovers!]

Many years ago a young Herr Hitler asked Vishnu the Hindu ( just before he was arrested) "What is the meaning of the meaning of the Hindi swastika symbol?" Vishnu replied; "In Hinduism, the swastika is considered a symbol of power, good fortune, prosperity and Mars. It is believed that swastika can fix the vastu of the house. The Swastika has the power to throw out the negative energies from the life of a person." Hitler replied; "Not anymore, arrest this traitor."

How are laws so easily passed unbeknownst to the public? We just accept them. I know, I know....we elected our leaders.

Ha ha! We can hardly march with banners saying ‘Bring back the Swastika’ 😂

Banning Daniel Andrews hammer and sickle is a leap to far.

Andrews lowest common denominator shielded in green ticks, why not red ticks?

An excellent defence of free speech, James. I hadn't realised about the "hate speech" laws within Weimar Germany. That is fascinating.

Brilliantly said. I wonderd what he was up to. Anything that seems virtuous from Dan Andrews has to have a devious twist.

Thanks again James for your ‘freedom of speech’ wise words. if Andrews remains in power it will become a dangerous idea.

As you stated,

‘It was Daniel Andrews who implemented medical apartheid in Victoria, promoting hate and division within the community.’

Sadly his fear mongering pitted family against family in many circumstances.

Your comment, what symbol next will be torn down, removed as a symbol of (his) hatred; it’s one you mentioned.

The writing is on the wall for Christians. Banning Swastikas is a front for more to follow as you say James.

That's always the concern Dianne. And after the past two years, who would doubt it?

Good to see the state of Danandrewstan has taken steps to rid his fair land of the plague-like numbers of swastikas that have proliferated like a contagion. One could hardly see an image or news report coming out of Victoria without witnessing a swathe of swastikas fluttering in the breeze, like one continuous Nazi party rally, until Comrade Andrew's brave stand against this evil ideology. Let's face it, he knows how to stamp out ideas, speech, opinions, jobs etc so it comes from a place of superior knowledge and understanding. Strange how those same skills didn't manage to actually stamp out a certain virus. Odd.

On the bright side though, how much safer and less hated must the grateful and increasingly sensitive citizens now feel? No more nasty ideas and flags to contend with.

Now, who's next on the list? That cross symbol thingy seems to underpin a lot of divisiveness - about time to rid ourselves of that one I think.

Thanks for helping us to see what's really going on James. I haven't seen a Nazi swastika being promoted anywhere at all. Let's wait and see where this leads.

That's good James, one can only hope our fearless leaders read this and ponder their own stupidity.
